Getting Ready for Riverside Holiday Market 2025

The 2025 Riverside Holiday Market is happening this weekend and in case you hadn’t heard, we’re going indoors this year!

Join us on Sunday, November 23th (11am-4pm) at Ralph Thornton Community Centre (765 Queen St E) for a day of yuletide fun. From local vendors to free kids’ activities to the Riverside Window Wonderland Art Walk, we’ve got a fun Sunday prepared for you.

It’s the last of our community markets for the year so let’s make it a memorable one. Here are a few reminders for the 2025 Riverside Holiday Market:

Come early.

From hot chocolate to cookie decorating to henna, we’ve got a lot of FREE treats and activities at the Riverside Holiday Market, and yes, Santa will be there!

However, some things do come in limited quantities so be there as early as 11am so you don’t miss out on the goodies!

Prepare Your list.

If you’re planning on getting some holiday shopping done, make a list and check it twice. We are taking over the full Ralph Thornton Community Centre and we’ve got an awesome line-up of local vendors and small businesses showcasing their products at the market.  Be sure to check it out and visit every floor!

Sign up for the Art Walk.

Led by artist Ella Mazur, the Riverside Window Wonderland Art Walk tour kicks off at the Riverside Holiday Market and ends with a complimentary snack and refreshment at Queen Garden Cafe (771 Queen E). Register HERE.
